Syracuse Triad

The Syracuse Triad is the name given to the three women's sororities founded at Syracuse University: Alpha Phi, Gamma Phi Beta, and Alpha Gamma Delta. The three sororities maintain a special bond demonstrated by a Syracuse Triad ceremony or event held on most campuses where all three groups are present.

Alpha Phi International Fraternity is a women's fraternity founded on September 30, 1872, by 10 of the first twenty women who attended Syracuse University. The organization pronounces its name Alpha FEE and its public motto is "union hand in hand."

Gamma Phi Beta International Sorority was founded on November 11, 1874. It is the first organization to use the term "sorority." Before its founding, similar organizations were known as "women's fraternities." Gamma Phi Beta has 119 collegiate chapters and 171 alumnae groups.

Alpha Gamma Delta is an international women's fraternity founded on May 30, 1904. Having a choice at the time of its founding, the organization decided to use the term "women's fraternity." Alpha Gamma Delta has about 184 undergraduate chapters and its vision is to "Inspire the Woman" and "Impact the World."
